Bradley Yoder, Ph.D. -- Protein Interactions and Polycystic Kidney Disease


Research Description:

The goal of my laboratory is to elucidate the Tg737 signaling pathway that results in polycystic kidney disease. The method we are using to study this pathway is to identify proteins that bind directly to Tg737 and to determine their role in renal cyst formation.
